00:00on heat back on the hardwood tonight, taking on the Chicago bulls that gets going tonight at
00:07eight o'clock. You guys can start here in the coverage here on five 60 WQM at six 45.
00:12Miami is a three and a half point favorite to the bowls who of course have just traded Zach
00:16Levine. Maybe they're going to trade Vucevich, but let me tell you something right now, Vucevich.
00:22Don't give us no parting gifts. Hey, listen, I don't forget all the things you did when you
00:26were on the Orlando magic. I know what Vucevich has been doing for all these years.
00:30Guess what, dude? You'll never run into a heat team like this. Never Vucevich. You have never
00:37run into a heat team like this. Nikola Vucevich, because you want to know something ring ring.
00:44Who's there? Yeah, that's right. So guess what? This is your come up. It's Vucevich. All those
00:53years of you hitting those stupid three pointers and you roll into the basket willy nilly that's
00:59over my friend. So let me tell you something right now, Nikola Vucevich. I hope you have pretty
01:07memories of what you've done your entire career career to the Miami heat because that chapter
01:13has come to a close Leroy hoard. It's over for Vucevich. Is he playing tonight?
01:20I would check now. Will you be interested in picking up Vucevich? Why? I think he is.
01:26Why? What? Why do you have to go all you on a situation? What do you mean?
01:36You realize this guy's cooked us his entire career. Yeah. His entire career. You know,
01:41now that you put the announcer's curse on it, he's going to go score third. No, you don't know that.
01:47Got a triple double day ago. Not tonight. Who was that against? Pistons. Oh, Pistons.
01:56Good team. Please. Can you just. No, I'm not. I was in 19 and 10. Congratulate. Oh,
02:03yeah. Congratulations. You're about to get stuffed in the warehouse tonight.
02:06Good luck. Good luck, dude. Coyote. There's no. Nope. There's what? The true
02:14Niko on the floor tonight is going to be Yovich, dude, not Vucevich.
02:20What is the average? Was he 30 points, 13 rebounds in his career?
02:26Twenty two rebounds. He really is. He's one of the original key killers, for sure.
02:31I think he killer. The first thing I think of is Nikola Vucevich.
02:36When I think of Vucevich, I think a big part trying to say it.
02:39Big Boos. Big Boop. Big Boop.
02:49On secret. First,
02:57you know, the problem is that muse only gives you the last 15 games, but that only goes back to 21
03:02his career. It says he averages 18 and 11 against the heat in his career.
03:09Double, double every time. Eleven rebounds on your head every time. Not tonight. Not tonight.
03:15Not tonight. Nope. He's going to be lucky to get eight and eight tonight. We'll see.
03:20We'll see. Welcome to the warehouse, Vuch. You're all alone. Yeah. No DeMar DeRozan
03:27and no Zach Levine. You're stuck there with who? Josh Giddy.
03:32Well, giddy up, partner, because you're in for a hell tonight.
03:40Giddy up. Yeah, partner. Josh Giddy. Did you redo one of that? He is.
03:50Voucher's last game against us as a member of the magic.
03:53Thirty eight points. Oh, one of the scariest individuals of all time is Nikola Vucevich
04:00in the magic jersey against the heat. Oh, man. Unstoppable. Really?
04:05Unstoppable. Twenty two and sixteen. Four and seventeen.
04:11While y'all talking about that stuff, I am finalizing my game day menu. Oh, cool. That's
04:20cool. You really do divert always to food, though, like just out of nowhere. I mean,
04:25this is kind of a big deal. We got a big one tonight. Got a big one. Got a big one road trip.
04:28Got a big one. You want to, you know, and you're like, we got a game. You know,
04:33that game is in six days. We got a game. Let me let me. You can hear it here.
04:39Five six. Do you understand why I go to something else when you go all in? What do you mean? Like
04:47you loved all time. Are you not? Do you not have faith in all time anymore?
04:50No, I didn't see. He's doing the thing. Now we know he's doing the thing. Now we know what you
04:57do. Come on. So you do believe it's all time. Yeah. So you think they're going to put it on
05:02Vucevic tonight? I don't know. OK, well, we'll make a prediction. What kind of sports radio
05:09host are you? I think I make a take. I believe that I am more confident with where in the paint
05:21SWAT and stuff. Yeah. And the cool thing about it is if he's on a perimeter,
05:28BAM can get in his grill. So before we never had either or BAM had to do everything. Yeah.
05:37So, yeah. Sounds like you think Vucevic is in trouble. Yes, me. Sounds like you agree with me.
05:42Supercharged BAM to get closer to Valentine's Day. What? Get stronger. Since when? Because
05:48he loves love. Love, love, love, love. Speaking of BAM, let's get his reaction to all the trade
05:56madness over this. This was him on the Luka. Can I say, let me do BAM? No. There you go.
06:09I'm trying to figure out why the hell Jimmy's still on the heat.
06:13That's your impression. He's leading the charge. Here was BAM on Luka. Honestly,
06:19I don't think any of us see the Luka trade happening. So I think that's why it's such a
06:24a shocker. Right? Uh huh. But like this, this is the nature of the beast. This is,
06:31this is the business. Is that love in the background? Just going shocker, man.
06:36Wait, wait, wait. It's a peanut gallery. When did Kevin Love become stay hydrated champ?
06:43Tell him BAM. Honestly, I don't think any of us seen the Luka trade happening. So I think that's
06:50why it's such a, a shocker. Right? Uh huh. But like this, this is the nature of the beast.
06:58This is, this is the business. Sucker BAM. Sucker cap. Sucker. That's right. Gotta stay hydrated,
07:03cap. We're still hungry. I'm like, for a guy to be in the crew, he need to be kicked out of the
07:15crew. The guy that y'all stay hydrated champ. No way. Yeah. He needs to be gone.
07:22Dr. Tobias, it would be funny if BAM said he saw it coming. Everybody is shook by it. I gotta be
07:28honest with you. It was, I'm like seeing all the quotes from the stars around the NBA and they're
07:31all shook. And, and part of the reason why is because part of the reason why this is unprecedented
07:38is because he's only 25 years old. Yeah. I don't care how much he weighs. And by the way,
07:46I saw the video of him getting off that plane. He didn't look too, he didn't look that fat. No,
07:50it wasn't like he had the James Harden fat dude. He let me like, look, maybe a lean two 60,
07:56you know, but he ain't two 70. You guys made it seem like he couldn't fight in the UFC. He
08:00was over the heavyweight limit. Like when he went down the stairs, he had to take a break halfway.
08:04Cause it's the only, like, I really like, it's one of these things where it's like,
08:09he must've really hated him and didn't like the fact that he didn't work or whatever. But he goes,
08:14what's your explanation for this? Mr. Harrison.
08:22And somebody should have said, I mean, leads the league in almost every category.
08:29He could come in, fed his refrigerator Perry, right? Like at some point with all the exceptions
08:36we make for guys flying the way they want to. And guys with their entourage in the locker room.
08:44Oh, look, one to have is a couple of extra LBS beers, you know? And by the way, listen,
08:50that dude moves at his own pace and you can't stop him, right? You can't stop him.
08:56And it finally got to the point where him and Kyrie work well together.
09:01So like, yeah, I gotta tell you, you want to talk about career decisions? Yep.
09:09What this one? Oh man. Like, I mean, now I would imagine Luca and the Lakers.
09:20That team was going to score 90 points. This team, the team with Luke on right now. Yeah. Who's
09:28running? Luke, are you running LeBron? LeBron's a walker. Maybe a couple of lobs at that. Yeah.
09:35Think about it. Gabe Vincent. When he gets in there, their point guard likes to run,
09:42but then he looks back and Schroeder. Who do they have? No, they have, um,
09:46long hair, um, Reeves. No, it's the long time on their team. He's not the starter.
09:55Somebody to lose the starter point guard. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
10:04I can't think in the middle. No. In the meanwhile, why don't you play bam on the Fox trade? Oh,
10:09is it a connect adult and connect, right? Intangibles. I mean, to start with De'Aaron,
10:15I'm, I'm happy for him. You know, obviously he's, he's in a new place, a new, a new form. Now he has
10:22a breath of fresh air and you know, he's looking to go out there and beat as hard as he can.
10:30That's his guy. Happy to be where he is. Crazy. He's like, ah, you know, I want to
10:36go to the spurs and the NBA is like, okay, sure. We stay in Fox. You know what? Well,
10:42that's not fair. I mean, it's not fair. Like the level of how good you are. It is though. Yeah.
10:48Okay. It's the, well, cause they want somebody with Wembin Yama. Yeah. I don't know what to
10:52tell you. I understand the frustration. So if he's a good player, the NBA, everyone's like,
10:57hold on, hold on, hold on everyone. Hold on. Have you figured out who you're talking about,
11:00by the way? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
11:05By the way. No, because I'm looking at the wrong, who are you thinking about Russell Westbrook?
11:14No. D'Angelo. Oh, D'Angelo Russell. He's on the nuts. He played them. He played them pretty
11:27recently. But that's why
11:32Kenneth even said, I know Leroy is thinking about DLO.
11:38Oh man. Tyler hero. Who's been in many a trade rumors. He now says that the trade
11:45season makes us feel alive. It makes us feel alive. I feel like it's like a good,
11:50like it's a great time of the year to be, to be an NBA player, to be a NBA fan.
11:55Like I remember growing up, obviously, um, as an NBA fan, just watching around the deadline,
12:02seeing what trades certain teams will make, what, uh, teams my team would make, what trade
12:08my team would make growing up. So, I mean, it's cool to watch as a fan. It's an exciting time,
12:13but you know, see what happens. You know, what's incredible about that.
12:20He can say that, that his ass ain't on the street. He was on the other foot last two years,
12:24kick them feet up boy. Two years. He was throwing up bricks because he had to think
12:28about that trade deadline. He's tough for these scrubs getting traded. Not an all-star like me.
12:33You know, IRA makes you, it makes you feel alive watching everybody else sweat. Doesn't that feel
12:39good though? Like he earned, he does it. He did earn that. How do you think in a million years,
12:44we would have ever thought that Luca Dodge would get traded for Tyler or Jimmy or Jimmy.
12:54Jimmy who demanded a trade. That's got to shake. Like Luca just bought a $15 million house.
12:59But he, he demanded a trade to an impossible team. He demanded a trade to him. He demanded a team
13:06that has the mechanism to go to one team. And that guy can veto any trade that he wants.
13:10He didn't demand a trade to a team. He demanded a trade to the money. That's right. That's it.
13:18Impossible money to get. Right. Impossible money.
13:22I'm just saying if it doesn't work out and he doesn't end up in Phoenix, he pretty much has
13:31ruined his chance of ever getting the money he thought he was going to get in 2027. Right.
13:38I mean, unless he goes to a good team and balls out, I mean, crazy concept
13:43and has a good playoff run. Right. But for right now. Yeah. I'm just saying,
13:48if you mean if like, if this, if he doesn't get traded and we get to the summertime and
13:52he opts in and people are like, yeah, what are you going to do? Uh, it's like at that point,
13:58Pat had to just trade him anywhere. Uh, if it's, I mean, I guess, I guess. Cause like,
14:04it's one of those things where people are going to be like, Oh, what's he going to do? I don't
14:07know. Was he ever going to play basketball again? I, and you made this a lot sooner than I did.
14:14Right. And that is maybe Jimmy has questions about his ability just based on he rolled his
14:25ankle and I'm not risking it. Yeah. I think that's part of it. I definitely think that it's
14:31not, especially with you having some type of feeling, some type of Patty towards the heat,
14:35you know, I'm like, Oh, right. So I think the teams that are scared to trade for him,
14:40like he's going to pull heat stuff with them. I got a hard time believing he's like, again,
14:46eventually you have to do your job. Yeah. But that's my point. Like, so say if there was
14:53five teams, who's 10 teams who would have kicked the tires on it. He shrunk that down to three.
15:00And those three teams are hoping, not knowing that Jimmy can still play to some level
15:10that they've seen him play. But down here, we haven't seen that. We seen that
15:16scarcer and scarcer over the last couple of years. Like we go, remember that game?
15:22It used to be, remember that December, remember that, remember that March. Right. And now it's
15:28remember that game, Oh, that Detroit game. Right. And so that is the sign of an aging athlete.
15:36You pick your spots. Here was Tyler here on the Luca deal.
15:43The same reaction I tweeted. It was crazy. I was just chilling, eating some dinner after the
15:50San Antonio game and came across my phone. I was like, wow, that's insane. It just shows you,
15:56man. I don't think this league is unexpected. You know, expect the unexpected. Luca is obviously
16:05one of the, I thought most valuable players in this league. So for him to get traded, like I
16:11said, I think anyone is, is on the table. You know, it just shows to every single day is a new,
16:17a new challenge for yourself to continue to always get better. Always try to improve yourself,
16:22improve the team. And then overall just being a good guy around the locker room and around the
16:27team. I think that's important as well. So yeah. Interesting. Philosophical Tyler hero. Yeah. That
16:35was two things I want to say. One, I've never heard him spoke this, speak this competently
16:39before. He's really like this all-star thing he's going to do. He's a player. That's all
16:44about confidence. This all-star thing is going to carry some weight into his game. I feel
16:48yeah. It's like now you're amongst the elite and nobody can take that away from him. He's
16:53been telling himself that since he was in Kentucky, I would like him at the three point contest to go.
16:59Is he playing it? Is he in it? The word is he is the word is I don't think they've announced it
17:02yet. I think they're going to do that on TNT, but, uh, I would like him to do that. And then
17:06I would like him to take a rocking chair out for Steph Curry. Oh, wow. Oh, do this. Okay.
17:12Now you think you want to go to sleep? Oh man, go sleep. Oh man. There's no chair.
17:17Go sleep on villains. The league needs villains. Okay. I mean, first all-star game. You want him
17:23to call? Can I just, can I just say this? I don't care how good Tyler is.
17:32Shoot the hell out of basketball. I can't even be mad at him. It's crazy. I love Steph Curry.
17:38It's just like, you know, that thing that's gotten annoying with Kevin, with Patrick Mahomes,
17:41never happened to me with Steph Curry. Well, can I just love him? Are you that way with Steph?
17:47Because he's not a big guy and, and how he goes about it. I can tell you exactly why it is.
17:56Why? Because he didn't switch up on us. Patrick Mahomes became boring. Yeah. Steph Curry is still
18:03as cool and as fun as he's ever been. Doesn't matter. Just give me a couple of bombs.
18:11Did you see what he did to the French?
18:18Let me see. I don't know a lot of French.
18:24We'll take a break. We'll get to cats. They were in the white house yesterday.
18:29Whoa. That's right.
